Hi! My name is Josh and I’ve been professionally training dogs since 2016 and have been very fortunate to have traveled the world doing so. From police/ military, scent work, obedience, and hunt tests, I have a truly diverse background. I hold my master trainer certification from the Scandinavian Working Dog Institute in Sweden and am also an instructor for patrol and detection working dogs.

The method we use is all about self discovery and decision making. Dogs learn through predatory instinct and natural wolf-like behaviors/corrections, our method allows you to bring out your dog's natural abilities and potential to become a loyal companion and family pet. Because all breeds are unique, different types of training techniques are needed. If you were ever wondering why you've tried other trainers or programs that have failed, it's because they are trying to use one method on all dogs.
I use a positive reinforcement method to encourage polite and obedient behaviour while preventing fear, aggression, and anxiety in your furry companion. My goal is to make sure you're equipped with the tools you need to communicate with your dog and have a strong, happy, and healthy relationship with your dog!
We specialize in one on one, in-home style training. We train dogs AND their owners, to help ensure long term success!

Michael was absolutely amazing with our 1 year old border collie, Sadie. We adopted her at 5 months old and she started showing signs of aggression and reactivity. We reached out to Michael and he was able to train her to be obedient, confident and safe in our family home. Since finishing her training we’ve been able to reach out to Michael and he has wonderful helping us guide her to success at home. We would highly recommend Michael and his training.

The dogs Arebtrained to work and play winaide a pack of 8-9 dogs. Kim, the trainer and I ack leader spends several weeks/months initially worki g with your dog and the. Slowly introduces your sog to the pack. What we found with our dogs was that they went twice a week for the “master class”; basically learning the commands they will obey and when they do so, they later taken a DD leash with other dogs at that level, and they run happily off leash ; kim takes them only to off leash venues). She also puts a leash on them all at some point and walks for hours with them, gettin Them to understand what’s expected of them in stores, on streets w cars and rooms all over. What can I say bit our digs have gotten the best of all possiblities— they meet and socialize with their pack (8-9 other dogs); they experience busy stores and street wit their pack buddies and kim, all together, so learn to trust the leader and the other dogs, and learn just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s scary: and they learn that after a day of lessons and such, that kim will take them to a great place with a water body and acreage and they can laugh and swim air just decide to dawdle down the road lost in thoughts about the day, or maybe about the gravel road, or maybe even daydreaming about that cute dog who he thinks is flirting with him ( if only he knew what “flirting” meant...) All to say the Masters class that kim runs is a Great definitely wonderful and gives your dog skills it will need on these hikes and elsewhere; then, when you and your dig go beyond that to running in fields, swimming in ponds and lakes, examine pieces of wood like it’s the most fascinating wood ever, making friends .... Basically these experiences will leave you with no choice but to absolutely that kim is a dig whisperer. A true dog whisperer. Happy dog, happy dogs friends, happy dog pack, and well, happy you, feeling so close to your dog and with skills you need but didn’t kno you needed ( and that your dig know. It sog didn’t know he or she would need them either. . This has been much more of a ramble than I meant... but I can summarize this in two words—-“KIM DOGWHISPERER”. 😀😀🥰

We’ve worked with Hannah for nearly 2yrs and my dogs love her dearly. She has helped transform a severely reactive dog to one that can get his nails trimmed, go to the vet and meet strangers without violence. She has helped my dogs become more well rounded. Definitely recommend Hannah to help your dogs become their best selves 💕

Wow! Only words I have to describe what a difference this training did for my dog! We have a 3 yr old wiener dog that was very unsocialized and was super protective of us and our family members. We were fearful anytime we had visitors at the house as he was he did not like strangers. This was our last ditch chance for keeping the dog that we loved and cared for so much. We got him back today after the two week board and train program and it’s a complete 180! He is outside chilling with me now on the down command and I would NEVER feel comfortable doing this in the past! It was an investment but worth every single penny! Thank you K9 offleash for making Loki the dog I knew he could always be!

My wife had taken our puppy Ruger to Kenzie when he was 13 weeks old and it was truly amazing what she was able to accomplish with such a puppy during the Puppy 101 classes. We then went straight into the basic obedience (6 week) class and the dog he has become and transformed into is absolutely amazing. I will recommend Elite Obedience to anyone who asks about dog training. We will continue now with the Canine Good Citizen Class and cannot wait for the results. Thank you Elite Obedience Training for everything!

We love bringing our girl to doggy day care. She has so much fun with the other dogs and the staff love her as if she were their own. Also nice that we can get her grooming needs done during the same day. So thankful to have a wonderful place for her to go and know she will be treated well. Thank you Tangled Tails :)

My dog goes here weekly for doggy day care and every few months for grooming. Every time i walk in the door my dog is super excited to go. The handlers in the back love the dogs and remember their name. I feel the price is reasonable and the smiling faces are great compared to some groomers locally. Sometimes they get a little busy and need a little more stream line process during peak hours and that is the only reason I gave a 4 star rating. If you have a punch card the process for check in and out of day stay is simple. They also post pics of the fun day on Instagram.
We specialize in results-driven obedience training. Our trainers are highly qualified to address any breed of dog. We provide unlimited follow-up services for the life of your Dog.

My dog Ralph is a rescue from aheinz and is a part pit bull. He was jumping on new people when they entered my home, my neighbor kids were scared of him only due to his breed, and I had zero leash control. History on Ralph - he was born 1/11/2020. We adopted him 3/11/20. He’s a great dog to us. Very loyal and loves his family. I contacted Brittany Noelle Godwin dog training and we had 6 sessions. She was wonderful with Ralph!! Can’t speak highly enough of her. Now my neighbors love Ralph and play with him, he doesn’t jump on people, and I control him on our walks on. Really appreciate all she did for Ralph. He loves her and we learned a lot from her.
